First time hatching and Murphy's Law seems to be in full effect

[darkbluespace]

Ok, well, there's one little single Serama egg I am sure is developing because it's MOVING! This is pretty exciting for me because it's my first attempt and I was pretty sure all the eggs had been scrambled. There are still a few I am unsure of, but if I get a single hatch, I will be over the moon. Plus, it'll make my record hatch rate easy to beat the next time, right?

I also added 12 more Silkie eggs. I'll have to get another incubator for hatching. This is quickly becoming a great passion for me! How exciting!!!

I just read the part about 12 more Silkie eggs! You are fast becoming a hatchaholic (Welcome to the club!) so a hatcher is probably a good idea ; )

Yes, It IS going to be a long winter! What do you chicken addicts DO in the winter?

Last winter I built my cabinet incubator!

Thank you! That means there's a chance I'll get more than one hatch?! Lol

I don't give up until I detect no life or day 22 has come and gone.

How can I post a video? We have movement!

There is a little icon at the top that looks sort of like a piece of old film. If you hover over it it should say: "insert vidoe"

How can I post a video? We have movement!

Ok, well I can't post a video from my phone, but here's the Silkie eggs at 4 days.

That looks good!

That looks good!  

It does, huh?! These Silkie eggs are going a lot better than the Serama eggs. Of course, it doesn't help that they took so long to be shipped. The Silkies were from a local breeder.

What day is lockdown for Serama eggs? And what humidity % is best?
